As your governor, I will fight to make Oregon the best state in which to live, work, raise a family, and retire with dignity — surrounded by family, children, and grandchildren who will not have to leave the state to find a good job.
Ed Diehl — Candidate for Governor
Building the Best Oregon
to Live, Work, and Retire
Oregon should be a state where families thrive, businesses grow, children succeed, and seniors can retire with dignity. Ed Diehl is running to restore balance, accountability, and common sense to state government.
Ed Diehl is leading the referendum to defeat Gov. Kotek's 4.3 Billion dollar tax increase.
Cut your taxes and fees by 10%, saving taxpayers thousands.
Cut state spending by 10% to eliminate waste.
Audit every dime to weed out state government waste, fraud, and abuse.
Freeze property taxes for seniors.
Fight to eliminate the death tax.
Make our streets safer and support law enforcement.
Improve our schools — Oregon is ranked at the bottom nationally.
Cut useless regulations and create 25,000 new private sector jobs.
Actively manage Oregon's natural resources effectively and transparently.
Supports the 2nd Amendment and is Pro-Life.
Solve homelessness with compassion and end camping in public spaces.
Oregon families are already stretched thin — higher groceries, higher gas, higher housing. Salem's answer has always been the same: more taxes. Ed Diehl will draw a line in the sand.
He will oppose any new tax increases — including a statewide sales tax. He will fight back against massive multi-billion-dollar tax hikes. He will cut state spending by 10 percent to restore discipline and eliminate bloated bureaucracy.
His goal: reduce taxes and fees by 8 percent and put real money back in your pocket.
He will eliminate the death tax so family farms and small businesses can stay in the family — not be sold off to pay the government. And he will freeze property taxes for seniors so they can stay in the homes they worked their entire lives to afford.
Public safety is not political — it's basic. And right now, too many Oregonians don't feel safe in their homes, their neighborhoods, or on their streets.
Failed policies have weakened law enforcement, reduced accountability, and allowed open drug use and public disorder to become normalized. Ed Diehl will restore law and order. He will support police officers and ensure they have the tools and backing they need to protect our communities.
Homelessness must be addressed with compassion — but compassion does not mean chaos. Ed will expand access to treatment and services while ending public camping that has taken over parks, sidewalks, and neighborhoods.
Oregon spends billions on education — yet ranks near the bottom nationally in reading and math. That is unacceptable. Our children get one shot at an education. We cannot afford to keep failing them.
Ed Diehl will refocus schools on academics — reading, writing, math, science. He will empower parents with more transparency and involvement. He will demand accountability so schools are measured by results, not excuses.
Education funding must deliver real, measurable results for students. The status quo — where billions flow in and outcomes keep declining — is not acceptable. Oregon kids deserve better, and under Ed Diehl they will get it.
Oregon should be a magnet for opportunity — not a cautionary tale. Small businesses are drowning in regulations. Families struggle to find good-paying jobs. Young people are leaving. That ends under Ed Diehl.
Ed Diehl will cut unnecessary red tape, promote free enterprise, and make Oregon competitive again. His goal is to help create 25,000 new private-sector jobs — real jobs in real communities.
He will also responsibly manage Oregon's timber, agriculture, and natural resources to create jobs while protecting our environment. We can grow our economy without sacrificing our values. A strong Oregon economy means the next generation chooses to stay — and build their lives here.
Trust in state government is near historic lows — and for good reason. Oregonians deserve to know exactly how their tax dollars are being spent, and who is accountable when the results don't show up.
Ed Diehl will push for independent audits of every state agency to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. He will increase transparency so taxpayers can see exactly how their money is being spent.
It's time to restore accountability and rebuild trust. Oregon families deserve a government that is honest about what it spends, transparent about what it accomplishes, and answerable when it fails. Ed Diehl will deliver that kind of leadership.
Ed Diehl believes your rights are not negotiable. Oregon's government should protect your freedoms — not chip away at them. That is a commitment he will carry into the Governor's office from day one.
He supports the Second Amendment and the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their families. He supports the right to life. He supports policies that defend individual liberty and limit government overreach.
Oregon has seen too many years of government expanding its reach into the lives of law-abiding citizens while failing to address real threats to public order. Ed Diehl will reverse that trend and restore a government that respects the people it serves.
Oregon is at
a crossroads.
Families are paying more and getting less. Crime is rising. Schools are falling behind. Ed Diehl is running to restore what made this state strong.
